Fox News host Bill O’Reilly went haywire after Malia Cohen of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors called out the hateful rhetoric of conservative news outlets, like Fox News.

What Cohen said is sheer brilliance:

And more importantly, we cannot allow hateful conservative news stations to drive how we respond to incidents in our city. I’m not afraid of Fox News and they don’t influence how I make my policy decisions here in San Francisco. We can talk all we want about improving public safety in this building, but if people in our community don’t trust law enforcement, no level of police staffing is going to make our community safe.

O’Reilly didn’t let this one go. He went on his show and went into a tirade, calling for Cohen’s arrest. Talk about exaggeration.

“Let me be very clear,” O’Reilly said. “That woman is a disgrace, and if I were the attorney general of the United States, I would immediately place her under arrest. I might not win the case, but I would send a message to all subversive office holders in this country, that if you do not obey federal law, you yourself will be prosecuted.”
